Scientists cracked the genetic code of salty liquorice cats? My cat still thinks the vacuum is a demon.
To: Red Badger
I have noticed a similar genetic expression in many females, their roots are dark and then the color gets much lighter near the tips mostly in younger ones.
Conversely in many older females the roots are white, and the hair gets much darker near the tips.
I wonder if I can get a grant to study this strange phenomenon

We’ve gotten our last two cats from reputable breeders.
Wanna know why we won’t touch local shelters anymore?
Check out the applications they demand people fill out. Some of them even demand to know your income level.
I will never do that.

I'm waiting for a cat with biofluorescent fur, like the Tasmanian Eastern Quoll.
Granted, this effect only appears under UV light, so in normal light their normal orange color would appear.

They start off by wanting to expand their backyard into the neighbors ... then the want to take over the whole neighborhood ...

They killed Dachshund dogs during that reign of terror, too! :(
I grew up with a black & tan. He lived to be 17. Otto. Sis and I loved that dog to the Moon and back.

Tess & Tilly, my 'Siamese Twin' black cats, demanding CHEESE! No longer with us, but they lived to be 15 and 16. Good mousers.

Just right when put on top of a ginger cat. A personality to match their coloration.
